SMS: Duplicate Query Names Possible When You Rename an Existing Query (313904)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q313904

SYMPTOMS

In the Systems Management Server (SMS) administrator console, when you edit a query that has been previously defined, it is possible to change the query name. If you change the query name to match the name of a query that already exists, the SMS administrator console accepts the change, and the result is two queries with the same name. When you initially build a query, it is not possible to choose a name that already exists. This problem occurs only when you edit a query and change its name.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, ensure that the name you choose for a query is unique.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

There are no known side effects of this problem except that when you select a query to use in collection rules, you see two queries with the same name. This makes it difficult to determine which query you need to use.
